“A warning, Mister Dawkins. Stay out of my city. If we catch you again, as I’m sure we shall, we will hang the very breath out of you.”


People of London, guard your pockets! Jack Dawkins – otherwise known as the Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens – is back on patch.

Having spent the past five years in an Australian penal colony, Victorian London’s top thief has returned with a triumphant swagger to the underworld slums of his birth, tasked with finding a hidden jewel. But danger lurks behind every street corner, the clock is ticking and the consequences of failure will be murderous.

With a killer accomplice, Dodger must track down childhood friends, old flames and uncover dark secrets if he is to find and steal the prize before the fatal deadline.

Narrated in his irreverent voice, Dodger is the first volume in The Dodger Papers, an audacious historical crime series from James Benmore, acclaimed author of Ask for Mercy.

‘The plot twists and turns brilliantly… Dodger’s world is one you can’t help but be absorbed into’ – SJI Holliday
